    The joint statement of the parliamentary groups and factions of the
    National Assembly of Nagorno Karabakh Republic on the settlement of
    the Karabakh-Azerbaijani conflict

    The parliamentary factions of Democracy and Hayrenik and the
    parliamentary group ARF-Movement 88 of the National Assembly of
    Nagorno Karabakh Republic,

    reporting

    compliance of the Declaration of Nagorno Karabakh Republic and all the
    legal and political steps, emanating from the NKR Declaration, with
    the tenets of the international law and the legislation of the USSR;

    emphasizing

    that the Azerbaijani Republic did not use the opportunity to settle
    all its problems with Nagorno Karabakh Republic through a dialogue,
    and carried out a policy of ethnic intolerance, resorted to coercion,
    and it has not given up the policy of resolving the conflict through
    military means so far;

    noting that

    the peoples involved in the conflict suffered tremendous human and
    material losses, and are still endangered by resumption of the armed
    confrontation and its unpredictable consequences;

    announcing

    they are responsible for about half a million Armenians displaced by
    violence and massacres in the former Soviet Socialist Republic of
    Azerbaijan;

    asserting

    commitment to an overall resolution of the existing issues through
    negotiations, which would enable preventing hostilities, and efforts
    to change the agreements through force,

    define the armed Karabakh-Azerbaijani conflict of 1991-1994 as
    aggression of the Azerbaijani Republic against Nagorno Karabakh
    Republic, further actions of NKR as self-defense of people which
    underwent aggression, observation of the indivisible right set down in
    Article 51 of the UN Conventions, and the current reality of the
    conflict area as the consequences of this aggression;

    find that Azerbaijan as an aggressor is responsible for the war it
    waged and its consequences, the fate of hundreds of thousands of
    people of the conflict parties displaced by military actions, and
    internally displaced persons, therefore it has to pay material and
    moral damages, considering the factor of loss of homeland, independent
    of ethnic identity;

    starting

    from the 1994 protocol of Bishkek on the ceasefire and the pact signed
    in the same year, ratified by the envoys of Nagorno Karabakh Republic,
    Azerbaijan, Armenia and the mediators, as well as the conclusions of
    the OSCE Summit in Budapest and other documents in which Nagorno
    Karabakh was recognized as a conflict party;

    invite the OSCE Ministerial Council to honor the equal participation
    of Nagorno Karabakh Republic in the talks for the settlement of the
    conflict, for any agreement without NKR cannot have legal force;

    believe that the recognition of independent, democratic and viable
    Nagorno Karabakh Republic, established under the results of the
    universal referendum of December 10, 1991, by the international
    community is the current reality and will become an important factor
    of regional stability and security;

    inform the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, the parliaments of the OSCE Minsk
    Group members, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the Council of Europe,
    NATO, the European Parliament.


    On behalf of the parliamentary factions of Democracy and Hayrenik and
    ARF-Movement 88 parliamentary group of the National Assembly of
    Nagorno Karabakh Republic about the adoption of this document,
